Even if it seems inevitable Arsenal will dispute PGMOL’s definition of “serious foul play” in the coming days, appealing Michael Oliver’s puzzling call to punish Myles Lewis-Skelly for a cynical trip with a red card, Mikel Arteta could take great satisfaction from a victory earned after being reduced to 10 men for an hour at Wolves.
The defender’s ludicrous first-half sending-off will dominate the discourse but the substitute Riccardo Calafiori’s priceless winner, after Wolves themselves had a player sent off when João Gomes was given a second yellow card, ensured they stay in the hunt for the title.
